Hello Guys,

The speedometer of my bike is not working since day 1 I bought the bike. As advised previously, I did checked the sensor by the drive shaft. Try to take it off, but could not. I also read in previous topics that is is a magnetic type and a friend told me that mostly the sensor is good and strong. He also suggests to check the instrument cluster.

Yesterday I dismantled the dashboard and checked the speedometer part......unbelievable??? How could these gears crumbled, yet the other 2 gears are still good.

Please see the picture: 2 Crumbled small moving gears.




These gears came off the "green" shaft and in front of the red gear in below picture:





Does anyone by chance have a damage speedometer but the moving gears are still good? I would like to buy it of you.

Thanking you for your kind attention.

Best regards.

When I restored a '80 BMW 528 I needed odometer gears and got just the gears here:

Don't know about for the K bikes, but I bet he can help. He'd need to know how many teeth were on that pile of powder you used to call a gear. Someone will likely have to make that count for you on another gauge set.

Ado, have a look at
http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Stuff/BMW_Tech/Speedo_Repair/speedo_repair.htm

There are two pages of good photos of the disassembly of your speedo.

I am pretty sure gears are available if not from the site above but certainly elsewhere.

Good chance to do a bit of research and contribute to Bert's planned webpage

The BM Shop in Brisbane can get them made up for you.

Ask on Flyingbrick.de. They are aware re those parts. I understand that BMW cars of similar vintage have the same gears behind the gauges (E30??)

Hi Rene,

Thanks for the advice.

Adiwan,

For those gears -

after reading Bert's info on the main page spent some time HERE; lots of good info!

Great site but the concept of counting the teeth on the original gears could, in this case, be a tad difficult.

That is the problem Phil. I can not measure the size or the original gears.

Cheers.

Might I suggest that rather than anguishing about the number of teeth drop them a line with the details of your bike - model, year and month of manufacture and see if they can advise. My guess is they will have done it before.
Regards,
K-BIKE

Ado, here is a company that makes the gears for our speedometers...
www.odometergears.com.
Click on the BMW link and at the bottom of the page, there is information on K bike speedo gears.

Email them (or visit their web site) to see if they can help.

Hi Neil,

Thanks for the information and link.

I shall check it and contact them.

Cheers

Ya, that was the one I was thinking of!
